When we first got him home, the little guy was all about his daddy. And I remember my dad saying, trust me, he will form a special bond with you. There’s something special between a mother and son. And you know what he’s right. We share something special for which I am grateful. There’s been a lot of huge milestones. The first I love you; first kiss and hug; first wiped tear. But, I really love the everyday moments. The wickedly cute hearty laugh; the deep, peaceful snore; the wink just between the two of us; his renditions to favorite songs; little secrets we don’t tell daddy. (What happens in this household when daddy’s not home–stays in this household, and let me tell you it usually revolves around food). He’s a challenger, no doubt. Inquisitive by nature….I lost count of the whys. It’s fun to have talks with him. And he’s my little pup, always near by.
I’m the lucky one. A mother to an amazingly, wonderful kid. A kid who is blessed with two others: a birth mom who chose life and heroically gave him an opportunity in life. A foster mom who was simply wonderful. So, I may still be learning on this path to motherhood. But I do know one thing: I could not love my baby boy any more.
And now, some funny kids quotes about their mothers:
When your mother is mad and asks you, “Do I look stupid?” it’s best not to answer her.
If mom’s not happy, nobody’s happy.
My dad will never be color coordinated.
Every time I complain to my mom that I’m bored, she tells me to go clean my room.
When your mom is mad at your dad, don’t let her brush your hair.
Parents should come with instructions.
You should not pick your nose because your mom will SCREAM!!!
You can’t hide mashed potatoes in your hat.
“Casserole” is just another word for “leftovers.”
You can’t get away with everything but it’s fun to try.
Dogs and mothers will love you no matter what.
